Archaeology beyond Postmodernity
Author: Andrew M. Martin
Publisher: AltaMira Press
ISBN: 0759123586
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
In the last decade, a new conception of culture has emerged in sociology, out of the ashes of modernism and post-modernism, that has the potential to radically change how we think about cultural objects and groups in archaeology. Archaeology beyond Postmodernity re-evaluates current interpretive and methodological tools and adapts them to the new position. Many examples are given from Western and indigenous sciences to illustrate this different understanding of science and culture. In addition, several case studies demonstrate how it can be applied to interpret historic and prehistoric cultures.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Historian Gary Lachman delivers a fascinating, rollicking biography of literary and cultural rebel Colin Wilson, one of the most adventurous, hopeful, and least understood intellects of the past century. You will embark on the intellectual ride of a lifetime in this rediscovery of the life and work of writer, rebel, and social experimenter Colin Wilson (1931-2013). Author of the classic The Outsider, Wilson, across his 118 books, purveyed a philosophy of mind power and human potential that made him one of the least understood and most important voices of the twentieth century. Wilson helped usher in the cultural revolution of the 1960s with his landmark work, The Outsider, published in 1956. The Outsider was an intelligent, meticulous, and unprecedented study of nonconformity in all facets of life. Wilson, finally, became a prolific and unparalleled historian of the occult, providing a generation of readers with a responsible and scholarly entry point to a world of mysteries. Now, acclaimed historian Gary Lachman, a friend of Wilson and a scholar of his work, provides an extraordinary and delightful biography that delves into the life, thought, and evolution of one of the greatest intellectual rebels and underrated visionaries of the twentieth century.

Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
When Thomas discovers a strange stone covered with symbols and runes near Hadrian’s Wall, he finds himself drawn into the mystery of a secret, ancient organization known as the Stewards. Consulting his fellow academics, the archaeologist is determined to learn more about this elite group and their apparent connection to extraterrestrial visits to Earth over the course of human evolution. The protagonist slowly unravels a hidden story of Alien influence, from early agricultural developments to modern space exploration, and their partnership with the Stewards to protect and safeguard the knowledge of their visits and to help maintain the balance of the natural order, both on Earth and within the cosmos. The archaeology professor’s research leads him to holy sites throughout Britain and the influence of Celtic Spirituality as he explores what the Celts called “thin” places. Over the course of his quest, Thomas is given another stone etched with a strange glyph, but his journey of discovery puts him in the path of the Apostles of Hades, a sinister group determined to undermine this balance. Drawn to Stonehenge, Thomas meets another professor whose field of study is the ancient stone monument. Revealing herself to be a modern-day Steward, Dr. Vaughn assists Thomas in unravelling the secrets of the artifacts and, together, they gain allies to defeat the Apostles of Hades. When the true power of the stones is discovered, Thomas and the now-powerful Stewards find themselves in a cosmic clash to preserve the future of Earth’s existence. The novel is a familiar plot of science-fiction, yet with an intriguing Celtic twist.

Stonehenge - A New Understanding: Solving the Mysteries of the Greatest Stone Age Monument
Author: Mike Parker Pearson
Publisher: The Experiment, LLC
ISBN: 1615191720
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
“The most authoritative, important book on Stonehenge to date.”—Kirkus, starred review Stonehenge stands as an enduring link to our prehistoric ancestors, yet the secrets it has guarded for thousands of years have long eluded us. Until now, the millions of enthusiasts who flock to the iconic site have made do with mere speculation—about Stonehenge’s celestial significance, human sacrifice, and even aliens and druids. One would think that the numerous research expeditions at Stonehenge had left no stone unturned. Yet, before the Stonehenge Riverside Project—a hugely ambitious, seven-year dig by today’s top archaeologists—all previous digs combined had only investigated a fraction of the monument, and many records from those earlier expeditions are either inaccurate or incomplete. Stonehenge—A New Understanding rewrites the story. From 2003 to 2009, author Mike Parker Pearson led the Stonehenge Riverside Project, the most comprehensive excavation ever conducted around Stonehenge. The project unearthed a wealth of fresh evidence that had gone untouched since prehistory. Parker Pearson uses that evidence to present a paradigm-shifting theory of the true significance that Stonehenge held for its builders—and mines his field notes to give you a you-are-there view of the dirt, drama, and thrilling discoveries of this history-changing archaeological dig.
